LOSS OF SOHMAL SCHOOL.
It is doubtful if any effort the people of Jackson
county could have made would have saved the normal
school at Ashland. The legislature was determined to
(nil till' lives f these schools, whose history has been
one long tale of political log-rolling to secure sustenance
for half starved existence and there is undoubtedly a
strong sentiment in the state against the normals, that
have always been the footballs of the legislatures.
The Ashland normal was established ten years ago
through the efforts of E. V. Carter, the best politician
and the most progressive citizen of Ashland. By adroit
politics, he secured the first appropriation for the school.
Since then he has had to attend every session of the leg
islature and lead the fight to sustain the normal. That
the school has been kept alive and prosperous is due prin
cipal! v to his efforts.
When it was seen that the doom of the normal was
uendinir, Mr. Carter this year again sacrificed his business
and time and rushed to the assistance of Senator Mulit
who made a valiant struggle for the normal in the senate
If shrewd politics could have availed, the normal would
have won the day but; the handwriting was on the wall
Even the normal's creator whose efforts for the city were
reecntlv rewarded bv deefat for the council could not
save it.
Loss of the normal will not materially affect Ashland
Her prosperity is built upon too firm a foundation to be
disturbed by such a trifle. But Ashland needs to awak
en. When the normal's existence was threatened, a car
load of citizens should have rushed to aid the battle for
it. Those making the fight at Salem should at least have
had the moral support of a large delegation of Ashlanders
yet no one came.' Apparently no one had the interest
of the. town at heart enough to sacrifice his time.
Ashland needs more public spirit. With all the gifts
of the gods spilled in her lap, she lacks only the spirit
of progress to be an ideal city. Inertia curse of Oregon
,: hangs like a mantle from her shoulders and should be
' cast off as the city arises to take her part in the new Ore-
gon the Oregon of tomorrow'.
DIYKUSIFIKI) FARM I KG XEIWKD.
Farmers of the Uoguo River valley do not do enough
diversified farming. There is a lack of staple farm prod
ucts, which it would pay well to raise. Many a tract has
been withdrawn from production of staples to be planted
to orchard and years must elapse before returns are re
ccived. In the meantime the owner must live, and to do
it he should turn his attention to diversified farming,
truck gardening, berry culture, etc.
In 1908 fifty-four cars of feed, forty-one cars of wheat,
twelve cars of oats, twenty-six cars of potatoes and one
ear of onions were shipped from outside points into Med
ford. In the entire valley, three hundred and thirtv-five
cars of feed were imported, two hundred and fifty cars
of hay, and sixty cars of potatoes. All of these products
could have been and should have been raised here.
it is and has always been almost impossible to secure
vegetables at local markets. Butter and eggs must be im
ported, and much other produce that should be produced
here must be shipped in. As it is possible to raise any crop
here, there is no excuse for not producing needed staples.
